Ductless? Heating and Cooling? What’s Going On?
If you are unfamiliar with ductless mini-split systems, or with heat pump technology in general, then you are probably a bit confused. The good news is that the system is actually fairly simple in theory. In fact, it shares a lot in common with more traditional systems, like a central AC. An outdoor unit is installed on the property, for instance, much like with a split central system or air–source heat pump.
Rather than use a central air handler and ductwork to distribute air throughout the house, though, a ductless mini-split system uses wall–mounted blower units. Each is controlled independently of the others with its own thermostat, and connects to the outdoor unit via conduits containing power, refrigerant, and drainage lines. Like other heat pumps, the system can reverse the flow of refrigerant in order to cool and heat homes efficiently.
